Abstract: A one-piece blank construction for a flip-lid box includes a rectangular bottom panel, rectangular top panel, panels bridging between the bottom and top, and two flip-lid panels foldably connected to one of the components of the respective side walls. The overall "footprint" of the blank is small because the blank is approximately rectangular, thus effecting the maximum saving of material. The one-piece construction is easy to set up, cuts the wastage of material, and increases strength so as to allow a smaller material thickness to be utilized.

Abstract: A stackable and nestable container for foodstuffs, includes a body formed as an integral unit defining an upwardly open recess, the recess having a bottom wall and a downwardly convergent side wall. The side wall has step portions at intervals around it, and non-step portions spaced from the step portions so that when two such containers are rotationally oriented in a first position with respect to each other, the step portions of the containers coincide to allow close nesting. Conversely, when the containers are rotationally oriented in a second position, the step portions of one container coincide with the non-step portions of the other to allow spaced stacking of the containers.
